SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On December 23, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register the countervailing duty order on aluminum wire and cable from China.[1] On December 3, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order .[2] On January 27, 2025, based on a timely request [3] for an administrative review, Commerce initiated a CVD administrative review of the sole mandatory respondent, Tanghenam Electric Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. (Tanghenam).[4]

On December 18, 2025, Commerce released a memorandum indicating that there were no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR based on a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) entry data query.[5] On December 23, 2025, the petitioner submitted comments on the record requesting that Commerce rescind the administrative review.[6] Further, on January 14, 2026, we notified interested parties of our intent to rescind this administrative review due to a lack of suspended entries.[7] Interested parties submitted comments on Commerce's notice of intent to rescind this review.[8]

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days.[9] Additionally, due to workflow delays and outages experienced by Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS), on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 21 days.[10] On February 9, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for issuing the preliminary results by 110 days.[11] Accordingly, the deadline for the preliminary results is now May 28, 2026.

For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Issues and Decision ( printed page 33701) Memorandum.[12] A list of the topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov.

Analysis of Comments Received

Commerce addressed the issues raised in parties' comments on Commerce's notice of intent to rescind this review in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. The issues are identified in the appendix to this notice.

Rescission of Administrative Review

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of a CVD order where it concludes there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR for an exporter or producer. Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the CVD assessment rate(s) based on the final results for the review period. Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate at the calculated CVD assessment rate for the review period. As explained in detail in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, Tanghenam has no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Cash Deposit Requirements

As Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, cash deposit rates will not change. Accordingly, the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.

Assessment

Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise. Countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated countervailable duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this rescission notice in the Federal Register .

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)

This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of the APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with regulations and terms of an APO is a violation, which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Dated: May 28, 2026.
